I was browsing through a web-site and managed to click my way through a series of links that led me to a site that lists the current status of the A-H1N1 swine flu virus for practically every country in the world.

Imagine my surprise when I saw Argentina’s statistics: 2485 confirmed cases and 60 deaths, making the mortality rate a stifling 2.414%, or one death for every 41 infections.

I mean, those statistics in themselves aren’t terrible, however, when compared with the rest of the world, it is the highest mortality rate. I think part of this is probably due to the fact that many countries that thrive off of tourism have stopped reporting all confirmed cases in order to not scare away business.

Still, it is interesting to see the current statistics for Swine Flu in Argentina. (Uruguay isn’t too far behind.) Click here to read the full report and browse other countries as well.
